Tarrytown Budget Approved at 4.82 Percent

Unlike Sleepy Hollow, whose budget team suffered until the end, Tarrytown’s budget came to its easy approval without a hitch.

In fact, this process had pretty much been buttoned up since April 15 when the board nearly voted right then to approve the budget for 2013-2014.

Nothing’s changed since, said Village Administrator Mike Blau.

The original tax levy proposed increase was brought down further to 4.82 percent and there were no modifications made at a subsequent work session.

Changes leading up to the final 4.82 percent tax levy hike included, according to Blau:

• "A payment from the Water Fund to the General Fund of $40,000 to pay for DPW staff that perform work for the Water Fund, especially during water main breaks. That has been in past budgets and should have been in the original tentative budget."

• "We also added a consultant for $12,000 who will be working on the Tappan Zee Bridge construction project for the Village."

• "There was also an assessment change number."

And it’s done until next year.
